Dayton Tax Bill-Pelowski

Governor Mark Dayton has signed a bill providing hundreds of thousands of Minnesota taxpayers with extra deductions and exemptions they can claim on this year's tax forms.

Dayton signed the $434 million relief package Friday, soon after both the House and Senate approved it by lopsided margins.

Democratic Representative Gene Pelowski of Winona says for Minnesotans who have already filed their taxes, the department will review each tax return and determine whether adjustments and refunds can be made automatically.

The Minnesota Department of Revenue is working with tax preparers and online tax preparation services to update tax filing software for the estimated 1.4 million Minnesotans who have not yet filed their taxes.
